@Chabal: Pretty much, a stock idea of what type of army does an Empire conscripts folks into their ranks

More types added

Sneaky Mercs: Thieves, bandits and other lowlife who are more willing to harm a helpless target but would run at the first sight of someone getting killed. Their role in combat is to act as the surgical knife of the lowlifes, stealing, robbign or causing acts of terror with minimum bloodshed. Or until they plant that bomb and get the fuck out of dodge. Have an egotistical complex

Alluring Amazon slave girls: The bedwarmers of the battle thrall army. To the Empire, they are a source of bedwarming goodness for the ruling elite and not quite bad as soldiers. Mostly used to infiltrate resistance cells or the beds of defiant generals. They often become enamored to the main character if he is a dashing hero. Often one will personally fall in love with the hero and realize that her love for the man who is trying to reveal his secrets is genuine. The Vamp version would often have a tragic romance with the ruler, realizing that he can not truly love her
